Balanced scorecard for retail expansion.
A balanced scorecard connects a strategy to objectives across four perspectives: financial results, customers, internal processes, and learning and growth. It helps a leadership team avoid judging a plan only by short-term financial results. Start with the strategic outcome, then write a small number of objectives that explain how the outcome will be achieved. Pair each objective with a clear measure, target, and owner in the operating scorecard. The four perspectives should reinforce one another: training improves processes, processes improve customer experience, and customer results support financial performance. Review the scorecard regularly and adjust measures when the strategy changes and results become available.
